Engadget has a real cool article about Hacking Google Maps.

So, what would I like to see utilize Google Maps? AskFRED.net! AskFred could intergrate (or hack if you will) with Google Maps showing a map of the US and thumbtacsk for each tournament. Click on the thumbtack and get a link for directions, a link to register, and some basic tournament info.

Here’s a mock up that I made:

It could go even further by having different colored thumbtacks for different types of tournament (one weapon, all weapon, etc.) Maybe the letter on the thumbtack could show the classification.

Update: I made a sample/test map. It wasn’t as easy as it looks, but still doable.
